In light of the suspensions....maybe not? DEN minus Melo isnt very good.

Wizards &=========D Nuggets

Once the chase begins, gotta follow through regardless. Good thing I did. Talent disparity is generally minimal in NBA even when a team's stars are missing. More an issue of motivation and organization. Plus, Washington still sucks on the road.

Phoenix for 10 units tonight against Toronto. Yikes!

YTD, games: 14-11
YTD, road trips: 14-0, +14 units

I read your original thread, but I'm having trouble figuring out what your posted record means. Are you up 14 units overall using this system? What's the difference between the games in the 14-11 record vs. the 14-0 record and does one include the other (I assume it does)?

Sorry for the basic questions - just trying to get a grasp on what I'm reading. Thanks.

"Games" refers to any and all games I bet on the system. "Road trips" refers to whether or not I won the 1 unit I chased for a particular team's trip. Or as MyTurn2Raise put it upthread, avoided the whammy.

So I could go 1-3 in games for a road trip, but that would still count as a win overall because I bet enough units on the final game to cover my losses on the first three (and still net +1 unit). Admittedly, my posted record thus far doesn't really say much except to indicate that no team has swept its road trip and I've emerged from each one with a unit.

Very tempted to fade the Bosh-less Raptors for another unit versus the Clippers tonight, but their next two games are against the banged up Sonics and Blazers. Phoenix's win last night is good enough for me.

YTD, games: 15-11
YTD, road trips: 15-0, +15 units

Back for a trio of plays after Xmas.

[Queensgrad]

Are you just betting one game per road trip? or just betting against the road team until you win one unit? I would keep fading TOR.

[silentbob]

Until I win one unit. Chasing a second unit is discretionary, probably won't start until it becomes clearer who's good in the NBA and who stinks. Anyway, good thing I didn't fade the Raptors against the Clippers.

Playing three games (San Antonio, Denver, and Golden State) tonight. Pinnacle's moneylines for the NBA weren't available when I left for work this morning, will have bet them later.
